Product Information

You don't have a magnetic phone: You don't need an iPhone to enjoy the magnetic charging, but you'll need a case that lines up your phone with Apple's MagSafe wireless configuration, or else your phone won't charge properly. You don't need all those extras: The Anker Prime power bank is pricey, and if you don't care about monitoring charge Wattage or days of battery life, find another option. The best power bank for you ultimately depends on how many electronic items you take fishing and how long your sessions are. We wish there wasn't such an easy answer to this question, because competition is better for everybody, but Anker is making the best power banks right now by far. It offers the best power-to-weight ratio, the fastest charging, and the most useful features. Yes, the Halo Bolt is powerful, compact, and easy to use, making it capable of safely jump-starting your car. Additionally, it can be used to charge your phone, tablet, or other electronic devices. The Halo Bolt also features a convenient LED floodlight. 4. Can a Halo power bank jump-start a car?

It is on the heavier side, but if you need this much power you probably expect that. It weighs around 3 kilograms which isn’t so much compared to the old-style carper’s power banks made from car or leisure batteries. Although I say this is a great power bank for shorter sessions, it can still charge a high-end smartphone from 0% to 100% around 5 to 6 times before being completely drained. That’s pretty impressive. Considering Anker started life as an independent electronics company, its popularity is incredible. They have a great reputation for providing well-priced and good quality electricals ranging from power leads to portable speakers.

So what’s the sacrifice for all this power? Well, this RidgeMonkey vault is definitely a little bit bulkier and a bit heavier, weighing in at around 1.5 kilograms. However, that really is nothing when you consider how much capacity you get. Some battery makers have built Qi or MagSafe-compatible wireless charging into the surfaces of their portable batteries. Such batteries mean you can leave the cables at home.

The Anker Prime series of Power Banks, including the Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank (250W) and the Anker Prime 20,000mAh Power Bank (200W), are for people who truly love to geek out on power banks. If you came looking for the absolute best power bank you can buy, this is the best we've tried.

In fact, our testing confirms what battery makers usually claim. A battery maker will claim between 60% and 70% efficiency, so that 10,000mAh battery will only give your phone around 6,000mAh of extra battery charge, at the least. In practice we find around 65% efficiency, though occasionally we can do even better. The Anker Nano is only 5,000mAh, but that doesn't mean it can fully charge a 5,000mAh phone battery like you'll find in the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Power banks are about 60-70% efficient, depending on the phone's technology, so this power bank is good for charging an iPhone 15 to nearly full, but that big Ultra will only get about 65% charge.
